Lego Sculpture at Downtown Disney: The Dragon

02-20-08_1224-WDW-Downtown-Disney-Lego-Dragon :) Seems like I’m in a Downtown Disney kind of mood so far this week. There’s a big Lego store at Downtown Disney, and they have decorated the outside with life-size-and-beyond Lego creations, including this dragon in Village Lake.

This is only part of him – he’s a rather long serpent, and to get all of him in the shot, from this angle anyway, would require standing so far away, you would not be able to see his tongue hanging out or his googly eyes. Despite his sharp-looking Lego fangs, I think he looks sort of doofy and humorous, don’t you? Not scary at all, at all!.

My favorite Lego creation down there was a life-size tourist with a bald head, sitting on the bench taking a nap. Every now and then, it would start snoring ;) I’m not sure he is still there, but next time I’m in The World, I’ll check it out and report back!

OK, so I wasn’t “wordless” this week – so, sue me! :D

    Amusing shot. No, I don’t think he looks too scary, but it is entertaining just the same.

    Hi Tink! This one I have actually seen, LOL! He’s very cool. I haven’t seen the Lego tourist, though – hope he’s still there. I’m going nuts trying to remember the name of the resort in the background – it is The Villas, or something similar?

    That’s pretty cool. I like that they have it coming out of the water. That’s something I would like to see that person.

    Am glad you aren’t wordless today or I wouldn’t have understood what it’s made of. But quite some impressive work here. They are just so creative, this makes for a creative post too.

    I love this dragon! He’s one of our favorite things in ALL of WDW!

    Unfortunately a few years ago when Lego’s did a rehab on the DTD store Mister bald tourist man disappeared. REALLY bummed us out.=0( I have a wonderful picture of my 2 boys “sleeping” with him but we loved him mostly because my Mom use to call him her boyfriend and would get her picture taken with him on each trip.One time we were looking through WDW pictures with my Aunt(Mom’s sister) and she sees Mom with Mister Tourist and says
    ” What are you doing with MY boyfriend?” LOL!! Sisters with the same taste in men!! LOL!

    Legos were among my favorite toys as a kid, so they always have a nostalgic quality.
    And yes, I did visit the Lego store in Downtown Disney – I sometimes attend an annual music-industry trade show in Anaheim.

    I think the most effective dragons would be unscary, because then more tasty people and critters will come closer and then Sizzle! Dinner.

    I cannot imagine building something like that with Legos. We have hundreds of Legos and I hate them all. So not my kind of thing, but your dragon looks awesome.

    I think the best dragons are the non-scary ones. Like the one in Shrek. I haven’t ever seen a life-size Lego :-(
